Security Examples for Ansible

This directory contains playbooks used for security hardening with Ansible, and is meant as a companion to the examples and text in chapter 11 of Ansible for DevOps.

Quick Start Guide

1 - Install dependencies (VirtualBox, Vagrant, Ansible)

  1. Download and install VirtualBox.
  2. Download and install Vagrant.
  3. [Mac/Linux only] Install Ansible.

Note for Windows users: This guide assumes you're on a Mac or Linux host. Windows hosts are unsupported at this time.

2 - Build the Virtual Machine

  1. Download this project and put it wherever you want.
  2. Open Terminal, cd to this directory (containing the Vagrantfile and this README file).
  3. Type in vagrant up, and let Vagrant do its magic.

Note: If there are any errors during the course of running vagrant up, and it drops you back to your command prompt, just run vagrant provision to continue building the VM from where you left off. If there are still errors after doing this a few times, post an issue to this project's issue queue on GitHub with the error.
